Remedial Promotion - S-1 Procedural Page

Role and responsibility

The S-1 officer owns remedial promotion routing per MCO P1400.32DMCO P1400.32D Chapter 2 paragraph 2600 (Remedial Consideration General), paragraph 2601 (Remedial PFC), paragraph 2602 (Remedial LCpl), paragraph 2603 (Remedial Cpl), and paragraph 2604 (Remedial Sgt). The S-1 chief tracks remedial requests through MMEA adjudication. The promotions clerk maintains the remedial promotion case file. The commander signs the remedial request and the corrected promotion documentation.

Source documents flow from the original non-promotion record, the restriction documentation, the clearance memorandum, the corrected eligibility analysis, and the MMEA remedial consideration request. Remedial actions land in MCTFS as a retroactive promotion transaction with back pay entitlement. Outputs include the remedial consideration request to MMEA, the corrected promotion warrant on approval, the retroactive MCTFS transaction, the back pay computation, the Page 11 entry per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6, and the updated OMPF.

Per MCO P1400.32D Chapter 2 paragraph 2600, remedial promotion corrects an improper non-promotion or unjust restriction. Per MARADMIN 308/23 summary of changes item 19, the MCO 1610.7B revision clarified remedial promotion procedures with vignettes. The vignettes ground the remedial decision in concrete cases.

Trigger events

• Restriction lifted retroactively after an improper non-promotion.
• Adverse FITREP redacted, removed, or overturned.
• NJP set aside or court-martial conviction overturned.
• Medical limited duty determination corrected retroactively.
• Page 11 non-recommendation withdrawn or overturned by the chain.
• MMEA review of restriction documentation finds the restriction unsupported.
• Audit of OMPF reveals a missing PME or qualification record corrected after the fact.

Processing workflow

1. Identify the improper non-promotion. Pull the original non-promotion record from MCTFS and the unit promotion register.
2. Validate the remedial basis. Per MCO P1400.32DMCO P1400.32D Chapter 2 paragraph 2600 and the grade-specific paragraphs 2601-2604, confirm the remedial criteria.
3. Route the remedial consideration request to MMEA. The S-1 officer drafts the request with the original record, the restriction basis, the clearance basis, and the requested corrected promotion date.
4. Document the original restriction and clearance. Per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6, the documentation includes the original Page 11 and any clearance Page 11.
5. Process the corrected promotion warrant on MMEA approval. The corrected warrant carries the original-to-be promotion date.
6. Cut the MCTFS retroactive promotion transaction. Submit through UD-MIPS per MCTFSPRIUMMCTFSPRIUM retroactive promotion transaction format.
7. Update pay grade and back pay. The retroactive promotion triggers back pay for the gap between the corrected effective date and the actual MCTFS update date.
8. Process Page 11 documenting the remedial promotion. Per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6, document the remedial promotion conditions.
9. Brief the Marine. The S-1 chief briefs the Marine on the corrected pay grade, back pay, and updated leadership responsibilities.
10. Update OMPF. Stage the remedial promotion documentation in the OMPF Field Folder.

Systems of record and forms

Systems

• MCTFS. Holds the retroactive promotion and back pay transaction.
• UD-MIPS. Cuts retroactive promotion transactions.
• MOL. Surfaces the corrected promotion to the Marine.
• MMEA. Adjudicates the remedial consideration request.
• OMPF. Final record of the remedial promotion.

Forms

• Remedial Consideration Request. Per Chapter 2 paragraph 2600.
• Corrected Promotion Warrant. Issued by MMEA on remedial approval.
• NAVMC 118 (11) Administrative Remarks. Page 11 documenting the remedial promotion.
• Back Pay Computation Worksheet. Local format documenting the back pay calculation.

Common pitfalls

• Remedial request routed without the original restriction documentation. MMEA returns the request for documentation. Stage every original record in the request packet.
• Retroactive MCTFS transaction not cut at the effective date. The Marine receives the rank without back pay. Cut the retroactive transaction per MCTFSPRIUMMCTFSPRIUM.
• Page 11 remedial entry omitted. The OMPF lands without the remedial record. Cut the Page 11 per MCO P1070.12KMCO P1070.12K Chapter 6.
• Grade-specific paragraph misread. Per MCO P1400.32DMCO P1400.32D Chapter 2 paragraphs 2601-2604, the grade controls the rule. Route per the correct paragraph.
• Back pay computation skipped. The pay system shows current grade only. The S-1 officer routes the back pay computation through DFAS or the local disbursing officer.

Decision points

• Remedial promotion versus restriction clearance. The restriction lifts prospectively. Per MCO P1400.32DMCO P1400.32D Chapter 2 paragraph 2600, remedial action retroactively corrects an improper non-promotion. The S-1 officer routes the remedial when the original non-promotion was improper.
• Grade-specific routing. Per Chapter 2 paragraphs 2601-2604, the grade controls the remedial process. PFC routes one way, Sgt another.
• MARADMIN 308/23 item 19 application. Per MARADMIN 308/23MARADMIN 308/23, the vignettes ground the remedial decision in concrete cases. The S-1 officer pulls the matching vignette to support the request.
